The Japanese local brand
“HIROSHIMA Oysters” to kitchens of the world.
High quality and delicious oysters grown in the blessed natural environment of Hiroshima.
“HIROSHIMA Oysters”, No. 1 share in Japan, were farmed in the blessed natural environment of the Seto Inland Sea facing Hiroshima Prefecture.
There are 142 islands in the sea of Hiroshima Prefecture. Along Hiroshima Bay in the inland sea, there were many wild oysters on rocks and stones. Oyster farming began more than 400 years ago. The amount of harvesting was so small as people could arrange stones and attach oysters only by their hands. To grow a lot of good quality oysters, farmers have made many improvements to increase the production volume. In recent years, we have been working on the technical development for non-spawning triploid oysters (seedlings) and achieved mass production.
The reasons why “HIROSHIMA Oysters” are delicious and high quality are the gentle waves and warm climate surrounded by islands. The sea and the mountains are close together, wide rivers with rich nutrients flow into the sea and the phytoplankton that the oysters feed on is abundant. In such an environment, we grow oysters with Single Seed Farming that maintains their taste and meat quality without depleting nutrients from their own spawns and promptly ship only those oysters from the processing plant in Hiroshima airport.

OUR MISSION
To be a better “Hiroshima Oysters” for consumers, farmers, and the environment
In 2022, we made a collaboration between industry, government, and academia to discuss what is necessary and what is missing for rapid distribution of primary products representing Hiroshima Prefecture to the global market. It has been widely discussed, and we found that there were many challenging matters. Since then, we have aimed to improve them in the collaboration with industry, government, and academia, and have established HIROSHIMA Oysters Co., Ltd. as a corporate organization to evolve the council and participate in the business model at an early stage.
The council has a wide variety of members, including public institutions that supply seeds and sanitation of fish and shellfish in the prefecture, aquaculture companies that produce them, logistics companies and material manufacturers that are responsible for speedy overseas transportation. We are discussing challenging matters every day. In addition, anyone can participate any time. This fiscal year, we have established a system to deliver fresh oysters from Hiroshima to the world any time, with shipping and processing facilities at the Hiroshima Airport Cargo Terminal, the air gateway of Hiroshima Prefecture.
Our mission for the future is to produce world-class quality Hiroshima oysters, to be able to supply them stably, and to spread awareness of this brand around the world, making the best use of this company and system.
